Ukraine is working to establish a sovereign satellite communication network, known as Himera, to reduce its strategic reliance on foreign providers. This initiative follows reports that restrictions within SpaceX’s Starlink and Starshield networks reportedly hindered Ukrainian military operations, including the effectiveness of interception drones against Russian attacks. In collaboration with the Danish company GomSpace, Ukraine launched the Obria nanosatellite on October 1 via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The On October 27, the Ukrainian defense technology company HIMERA and GomSpace announced the successful testing of the OBRIA NANO satellite. This satellite serves as a foundational component for the independent network. While the new constellation may not match the scale of existing commercial systems, it is intended to mitigate vulnerabilities associated with relying on a single provider.
